Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport: A Design-Forward Retreat in the Heart of Boston’s Waterfront

The jewel of the northeast is the perfect getaway

Architecture, Building, Office Building

It began at daybreak, as a white light poked through the split in the curtains, and I awoke from a night of slumber, and the sun opened up over Boston. I climbed out of bed, opened the curtains, with the Boston skyline across the horizon, and the harbor poking through the facades of glass and steel. Welcome to the Boston Seaport.

I was on a late spring excursion, with the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport as my headquarters, to explore the city’s newest district, where arts, culture, and activity intertwined. What would I find?

A Toast to World Gin Week in New York City

World Gin Week ends in New York with a juniper-fueled celebration at The Ivory Peacock and Ploume.

Bar, Chair, Furniture

If your week was anything like mine, you'll need a strong cocktail or three this weekend. Mercifully, the martinis will flow like water this Saturday in New York City for the grand finale of World Gin Week. For the past seven days, elite cocktail bars from Cape Town and Kyoto to Singapore and Mexico City have hosted panels, bartender residencies, and tastings in celebration of all things juniper. Think of it as the World Cup for cocktail connoisseurs.

Here in Gotham, World Gin Week culminates on June 20 at The Ivory Peacock, a craft cocktail mainstay in NoMad, and its subterranean sister bar, Ploume. The two venues will host pop-ups helmed by bartenders from cathedrals of mixology like Sip & Guzzle, Dante Aperitivo, and Room 207. Expect all manner of martini mania, along with gourmet hors d'oeuvres to ensure you're still standing at the evening's end.

Oregon’s award-winning Van Duzer Winery is part luxurious escape, part endangered species refuge

Sustainable sips in the heart of Oregon's wine country

Glass, Alcohol, Beer

A trip to Oregon isn’t complete without a visit to the state’s oldest wine region, the Willamette Valley. Bordered by Portland and Eugene, the spellbinding stretch of wine country is 150 miles long and is home to hundreds of tasting rooms worth a visit. But Van Duzer Vineyards is more than views and sips—it’s a wildlife sanctuary that holds a high standard for the land it sits on.

Van Duzer winery preserves 22 acres of native flora and fauna on its grounds, with six grapes and 14 clones growing on the property’s remaining 84 acres. The neighboring Basket Slough National Wildlife Refuge is home to over 250 species of bird species in its wetlands, woodlands, and grasslands, with scenic hikes just minutes from Van Duzer’s hilltop tasting room.
